Seth Raynor Society meeting announcement!

<< < (2/3) > >>

herrstein:
Keep in mind that I am an advocate of placing bunker rakes in Raynoresque bunkers with handles out, rake heads in. This prevents balls from hanging on the slopes. getting caught by the lip, and makes retrieval and placement easier. Grades will be given strictly according to whim and attitude- proper attitude being that raking is a courtesy extended to your fellow competitor, as with kicking in or filling divots, and complaining about misfortune in a bunker is intolerably poor form. Complaints as to fairness will be ignored, as is proper in golf.

Second: I am pretty sure that Waunamatonomy has had some recent work by Ron Prichard. I have only seen pictures. The Waunomatonomy contingent at the last two Raynor meetings has been particularly congenial and fun to be around. I hope they will chime in about their course, which I very much look forward to playing.

According to George Bahto, the club was built with help from T. Suffern Tailer. Raynor was designing the Ocean Links 9-holer next to Newport CC, for him when Tailer hired Raynor to design Wanumetonomy as well.

Have not played it so can't give you much more than that.

Jim_Kennedy:
Tony,
Can I just mush the sand around with my foot or are you requiring formalized raking?

ANTHONYPIOPPI:
Jim,

Since it is not my course, formalized raking will be requred. If it was up to me, mushing (I'm going to steal this word) would be the only way to care for bunker sand.

RJ_Daley:
I'm bringing this thread forward to see if anyone has further comments or plans they'd like to share regarding this SRS meeting and golf tournament.  I am planning on being there for all three days.  I haven't yet been able to get through to pro shop for a request for a practice round on Wednesday, however.  I was wondering if anyone else has one scheduled and if they perhaps have an unfilled 4some.  I then plan on bouncing around New England for about 6 days after the event.  The weekend on Cape Cod and then VT and NH.  ...gotta take the wife somewhere... ;D ::)
